Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the field of materials technology, and more specifically to methods of forming metal foams and components formed thereof.
- Metal foams are cellular structures including a large volume fraction of pores. While most metal structures contain some porosity, for example a few volume percent, metal foams may typically contain at least 75% volume fraction of pores.
- Metal foams can be formed in several ways: by injecting gas into molten metal; by forming gas in-situ in molten metal through a chemical reaction; by lowering pressure to precipitate gas that is already present in molten metal; or by incorporating hollow beads of a higher melting temperature metal into molten metal having a lower melting temperature.
- FIG. 1 is an illustration of a material additive process producing a layer of superalloy metal foam on a surface of a superalloy substrate.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a ceramic thermal barrier coating applied directly to a layer of metal foam on a superalloy component substrate without an intervening bond coat layer.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a gas turbine engine blade having superalloy metal foam along its leading and trailing edges.
- the present inventors have recognized a need for an improved method of manufacturing metal foam, particularly for manufacturing superalloy metal foam material that may be suitable for use in fabricating hot gas path components for gas turbine engines.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of such an improved method, wherein a powder mixture 10 deposited onto a surface 12 of a substrate 14 is melted with an energy beam 16 to form a melt pool 18, which then is allowed to solidify to form a layer of metal foam 20 on the substrate 14.
- the powder mixture 10 includes particles of metal 22 and particles of a foaming agent 24.
- metal is used herein in a general sense to include both pure metals and metal alloys, and in the embodiment of FIG. 1 , the substrate 14 and the particles of metal 22 are a superalloy material such as may be used in a gas turbine engine application, for example the materials sold under the trademarks or brand names IN 700, IN 939, Rene 80, CM 247, CMSX-8, CMSX-10, PWA 1484, and many others as are known in the art.
- the foaming agent 24 can be any material that will release a gas upon being heated into the melt pool 18.
- One such foaming agent 24 is titanium hydride (TiH 2 ) which releases hydrogen gas into the melt pool 18.
- TiH 2 titanium hydride
- the gas bubbles form porosity in the metal foam 20 of at least 50% by volume, or 50-85% or more by volume in some embodiments.
- the layer of metal foam 20 is integrally and
- the energy beam 16 which may typically be a laser beam, is traversed across the surface 12 as indicated by the arrow, with beam frequency, energy level and speed being controlled to achieve a desired heat input.
- Laser and process parameters may also be adjusted to achieve a stirring action to further enhance the function of the foaming agent (akin to breaking up effervescent tablets for heart burn relief to create a froth or foam).
- a high density beam can create a vapor supported depression within the melt which when moved from side to side can act as a stirring element. Parameters may also be adjusted to achieve waves in the melt and a breaking action to entrain air or process gas by turbulent agitation (akin to sea water breaking on a beach causing sea foam).
- foaming agents Other volatile constituents may also act as foaming agents.
- metal powders exposed to humidity will retain water and will result in porous metal deposits during laser cladding. Intentional humidification of powder may therefore be used to enhance the void volume fraction of the deposit.
- yttria containing metal powders result in more porosity than yttria free powders.
- foaming agent may have multiple benefits.
- the foaming agent may further include ingredients (ceramics and/or alloying elements) that (a) reduce surface tension and inhibit bubble coalescence, or (b) increase viscosity and impede buoyancy of bubbles, thereby enhancing foam creation. Exclusion of ingredients that counter these effects is equally important.
- the levels of sulfur and oxygen are, for example, highly influential on surface tension, with both having low surface tension. Low levels of elements that reduce oxygen can have similar effects, for example aluminum. Similarly, low levels of silicon may be important in improved viscosity of the melt.
- the foaming agent 24 may be a material that is beneficial to the desired properties of the layer of metal foam 20.
- titanium is a common
- the foaming agent 24 may be a material that performs a fluxing function in the melt pool 18. For example, calcium, magnesium and/or manganese carbides will contribute to the removal of sulfur by way of the formation of a removable slag. These compounds, and carbonates of the same elements, will form carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide gases to create the desired porosity. The gas also provides a degree of shielding of the melt pool 18 from the atmosphere.
- the process of FIG. 1 has application as a technique for modifying the surface of a superalloy component. It is known to apply a bond coat material, such as an MCrAIY material, between a superalloy component substrate and an overlying ceramic thermal barrier coating material in order to enhance adhesion and to accommodate the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the superalloy substrate and the ceramic thermal barrier coating material.
- the process of FIG. 1 may be used to apply a layer of superalloy metal foam 20 to the substrate 14 prior to the application of a bond coat material.
- the relatively rough surface 28 of the metal foam 20 caused by surface opening porosity promotes good adhesion of any overlying coating material.
- the porosity of the metal foam 20 provides a degree of mechanical compliance that will alleviate differential thermal expansion stresses, thus allowing a ceramic thermal barrier coating 31 to be applied directly to a layer of metal foam 20 on a superalloy substrate 14 without an intervening bond coat layer in some applications, as shown in FIG. 2.
- FIG.3 is top view of a gas turbine engine blade 30 during a stage of additive manufacturing.
- the blade 30 has an airfoil shape with a suction side 32 and a pressure side 34 extending from a leading edge 36 to a trailing edge 38.
- the blade 30 is being manufactured by depositing a plurality of layers of superalloy material to build the blade 30 along a radial axis R extending out of the plane of FIG. 3, with a most recently deposited layer visible in the figure.
- a majority of the pressure 34 and suction 32 sides, as well as structural webs 40 extending there between, are deposited as essentially fully dense superalloy material by a laser deposition process in accordance with a known prior art process.
- regions 42, 44 proximate the leading edge 36 and trailing edge 38 respectively are deposited to be metal foam 20 in accordance with the process illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- Regions 42, 44 may be produced from powder containing both metal 22 and foaming agent 24 particles as compared to the other regions of the airfoil shape that are produced from powder containing only metal particles (or metal only and flux).
- the powder may be pre-placed layer by layer or it may be directed into the energy beam as it traverses across the airfoil shape in a continuous process.
- the quantity of foaming agent particles 24 as a percentage of the total powder mixture 10 may be constant, such as less than 1 %, or it may vary in different regions of the blade 30. It is recognized that density and strength have a non-linear relationship, and in regions of relatively lower operating stress, the amount of foaming agent 24 and the resulting degree of porosity may be increased in order to reduce the weight of the blade 30, as compared to regions of relatively higher operating stress which are formed to have lower or no porosity.
- a layer of metal foam 20 deposited on a component substrate surface 12 in accordance with the present invention provides several advantages for gas turbine component applications.
- the metal foam 20 may provide improved thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance, since the foamed material is relatively flexible and crack resistant because of the thin metal ligaments between pores. If cracks do form in the foam material, the cracks would likely be arrested by an adjoining pore, thereby preventing propagation of the crack into the underlying substrate material 14.
- the metal foam 20 may also provide improved resilience to foreign object damage, since foamed materials are generally characterized by ballistic impact advantages.
- the metal foam 20 may provide improved cooling when formed along a cooling channel surface 46, 48 due to transpiration cooling to the extent that the regions 42, 44 contain open porosity, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for drilled cooling holes.
